Possible Causes, Descriptions, and Solutions
The paper setting may not be correct. For example, although

be set.
• Check the printer driver's paper settings.
See the printer driver Help.
Confirm that the paper is not curled or bent. Envelopes can
be curled easily. Flatten paper before loading.
See p.31 "Paper and Other Media".

firm that the top of the stack is not higher than the limit
mark inside the tray.
See p.41 "Loading Paper".

and the paper, or between the paper guide both side and
the paper in the paper tray. Make sure there are no gaps.
